Method and System for Focused Storage Access Notifications from a Network Storage System

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions for performing a method comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one machine, causes the machine to:

• receive, at a storage system, a set of notification rules from a partner computing system, the set of notification rules defining a notification filter specifying which of a plurality of storage access requests from one or more client computing systems to forward to the partner computing system;
• responsive to verifying that the set of notification rules adhere to a storage rule language syntax, store the set of event notification rules within a rule set repository accessible by the storage system;
• and
• upon receiving a storage access request from one of the one or more client computing systems, compare the storage access request against the notification filter by executing the set of notification rules to forward the storage access request to the partner computing system or allow the storage access request.

A storage system, comprising:

• a processor device;
• and
• a memory device including program code stored thereon, wherein the program code, upon execution by the processor device, performs operations comprising:
• receiving, at a storage system, a set of notification rules from a partner computing system, the set of notification rules defining a notification filter specifying which of a plurality of storage access requests from one or more client computing systems to forward to the partner computing system;
• responsive to verifying that the set of notification rules adhere to a storage rule language syntax, storing the set of event notification rules within a rule set repository accessible by the storage system;
• and
• upon receiving a storage access request from one of the one or more client computing systems, comparing the storage access request against the notification filter by executing the set of notification rules to forward the storage access request to the partner computing system or allow the storage access request.
